Reconstructing the Foreign Language Education Paradigm Driven by the Dual-Spiral Educational Model: Coupling Mechanisms and Practical Pathways of Holistic Education and Three-Whole Education

Based on the demand for connotative development in higher education in the new era, this study innovatively proposes a “dual-spiral educational model” that integrates holistic education with Three-Whole Education (whole-person, whole-process, whole-coverage). Holistic education, centered on the “knowledge-competency-values” integrated framework, aligns with Three-Whole Education’s methodological principles of “all-staff collabora-tion, whole-process integration and full-domain coverage”. Through the inte-gration of value logic, practical logic, and temporal logic, this study con-structs a tri-dimensional interactive teaching model and a “dual-core four-dimensional evaluation system”, that is subject dimension featuring co-ordinated all-staff education with scientific planning, process dimension im-plementing comprehensive whole-process education through multidimen-sional teaching and spatial dimension achieving omnidirectional education by establishing a “spiral educational chain”. Practically, the model leverages intelligent platforms to create blended teaching environments, realizing im-plicit integration of ideological-political elements through dual mechanisms of “linguistic scaffolding” and “values-based scaffolding”. Theoretically, it addresses the structural contradiction of “technique-over-principle” in tradi-tional foreign language education by offering a paradigm for nurturing glob-ally competent talents with Chinese cultural identity and international vision. Furthermore, it innovates disciplinary pathways for implementing the Cur-riculum-based Ideological and Political Education Guidelines in foreign lan-guage studies, facilitating the cultivation of global governance talents under the Belt and Road Initiative.
